NL: SideQuest - A Choice of Heart - Pt3 Glen in the Rain · No Latency

0:02
Last time on No latency cyclist. So so we're.
0:04
Fighting. This is a trap.
0:05
I'm. Going to run her over if she
0:07
stays. Were we not supposed to own?
0:09
No. Let it get hurt.
0:10
I'm on the doc. I'm not known for my speed, I'm
0:12
known for my fast talking you. Not throw the gut.
0:15
Damn tank. What was in the box you're.
0:18
Kidding, of course. I have to go for this really
0:20
stupid idea. That was that was fantastic.
0:22
That was worth it. Science bitch.
0:24
Hey, that's our investment you. Asshole.
0:26
Sorry guys, I can't help right now.
0:27
I need to make sure this thing does not like explode in here.
0:31
It's therapist. My sister would be so proud of
0:33
me right now. This is anything like the Speedy
0:35
and Angry series. It just means they've gotten
0:37
faster with less weight. That's much better that.
0:39
Was awesome. Should have signed the contract,
0:41
motherfucker. Yeah, I'm gonna need all hands
0:43
on deck for a moment. We need to make sure this thing
0:45
does not go to 0 or this job is kaput.
1:00
Quickly pull her into the gas station.
1:02
Still like fuck fuck fuck. God damn.
1:07
Damn, why? Why are you so mad?
1:10
You're. Through thousands of dollars,
1:12
this is destroyed. That thing's beeping.
1:14
We're out of gas. We have to no.
1:23
More importantly, the the goods is about to expire.
1:31
So yes, if you wouldn't mind pulling over so we're not like,
1:35
driving all over the place so I can, like, try to fix this,
1:38
yeah. Yeah, yeah, honey, Yes.
1:39
You want me? You want me?
1:41
I can get some ice if that helped with the cryo.
1:45
That's smart. That's that's a good it's a cryo
1:47
tank, you know, so. It seems like the amount of ice
1:51
we would need would just not it. It's this gas station is not
1:55
going to have. OK, give me a moment.
1:59
Oh. Man, as soon as you slow down
2:03
I'll like hop out and start repealing.
2:06
Nice, right? You're at pump #2 at this gas
2:08
station. Hey, it takes regular still,
2:11
right, Devin? Oh yeah, yeah, There it goes.
2:15
There it. Goes.
2:19
Fine, OK. How are you feeling?
2:21
I am going to try to re stabilize this thing.
2:25
Is there a way I can do? I know what I need to do to to
2:29
put more life back into this thing essentially.
2:31
It's it's low on power. It's been jostled around.
2:34
One of the batteries fell out and is now destroyed as part of
2:36
the chase that you were just in it.
2:39
It just, it's running out of juice.
2:40
There is a PowerPoint in the back of this van.
2:43
Can I plug plug it into the power port to try to?
2:49
I don't see why not. OK.
2:51
Yes, I would like to just try to just give this at least a little
2:54
bit of juice to keep it holding on.
2:58
We're almost there. So I just need to keep it alive
3:01
for a little bit longer. And you plug the prior tank into
3:05
the van and the whole van goes dark.
3:08
Shit I wish Retro was here, he could help with this.
3:13
The tank starts to beep. There was not enough power in
3:16
the battery of a car to power a machine that keeps biological
3:19
things alive. OK, if I unplug it, does carbs
3:23
go? Back.
3:24
Yeah, you unplug it, the car comes back to life.
3:26
The cryo tank bursts open and a man inside bolts upright and he
3:34
tries to run. Oh my God, so help me grab them.
3:38
I got them. I got them.
3:40
Yeah, roll evasion. That's shit.
3:43
Both. Not that it matters because I
3:45
rolled a crit again. You bridge from the inside of
3:50
the van. You hear screaming sounds.
3:53
Like. A job for me because everybody
3:56
no. Devin, did you want a receipt,
3:58
Devin? 'S walking out of the gas
4:01
station. What what the what the fuck you
4:04
see? A man in a patient gown run past
4:08
you to the north of this area. He rolled a crit and he
4:12
disappears into a building to the north.
4:15
Your package has escaped. Guys, we have one.
4:18
Job. I have AI have a quick question.
4:23
I was inside of the gas station, so was that by any chance
4:29
related to what we've been doing for the past several hours?
4:35
Oh, 'cause I can't see what's in the car.
4:38
Was it? Was it related?
4:39
Yes, that was There was a person in that cryo tank and they just
4:44
woke up and ran because this thing ran out of power.
4:50
Well, why didn't, why didn't they give us like a battery or
4:54
something? Bridge, bridge.
4:58
Quick question, the instructions, does it say bring
5:04
the package or bring what's in the package?
5:07
So we can salvage this if the contracts just bring the tank.
5:12
You see my lips kind of like moving again as I reread the
5:17
dossier. A medical professional is
5:20
required to maintain the cryo tank stability.
5:24
Provide your own vehicle. We weren't here.
5:26
If anyone asks. Pick up the quote UN quote.
5:28
Package as far. As I can tell, I think
5:30
maintaining cryo tank stability is probably the big one, and
5:33
it's probably the dude. I'm willing to bet given that
5:38
that that's probably we should probably go find him.
5:41
Yeah. You know, bridge.
5:42
You did see this guy's face. I want you to roll streetwise,
5:46
Phoebe continue. Technically we already failed
5:50
because the crowd tank is no longer at stability, but if we
5:52
can get him and put him back, I might be able to bring it back
5:57
to some level of stability. That's all.
6:04
What if we like took like, OK, I know I'm the smartest person
6:08
here, Devin said. It just going to put it there.
6:12
What if we take the tank and we put it like we charge it off the
6:17
gas station and you stay here, Miss Vivi, We'll go get the guy.
6:23
Yes, I can start charging the tank.
6:26
Good idea. Good idea.
6:28
I'll get to work on that. You guys go get the guy.
6:34
Do we know how to put a guy back into a cryo tank once he's out?
6:39
I'm assuming we just throw him in there.
6:44
I should be able to, yes. I could just knock him out.
6:50
Yes, hold on. Before you guys go, let me just
6:54
read this log, which I didn't have time to because we were
6:58
being promptly chased. March 26th, 2049 log DNA
7:05
transmog 98% mutation will only bring the numbers down.
7:09
Now the window for transplant is small.
7:12
Oh great subject is that peak harvesting status.
7:16
However, stability has again been an issue.
7:20
All the subjects failed Doctor Glass.
7:23
It will be some time before another subject can be found.
7:26
This is your only option. As always, delivery is to be
7:29
organized by you. We can't have a repeat of the
7:33
last two. As requested, the kill switch
7:36
slash tracker is connected to your personal terminal.
7:41
OK, we do so hope you don't have to use it.
7:43
A copy of this log was forwarded to your secure address MW94.
7:47
Do you share this log to everyone VB?
7:49
Yes, I read it out loud to everybody.
7:52
Kill switch slash tracker. Is that for the for the guy?
7:56
You got a kill switch. Apparently, this Doctor Glass
7:59
did. Is quite are you?
8:01
Is that your last name? No, that is not I am not Doctor
8:05
Glass. That's, I mean, is that guy
8:08
can't be Doctor Glass, but he looks a lot like him.
8:13
How do you know what he looks like?
8:15
I met the guy once or twice, a good doctor.
8:17
Wait, you met the guy we were transporting well.
8:20
No, not that guy specifically. I mean, I got cryogenically in
8:24
stasis for who knows how long, but I've definitely done work
8:27
related to Doctor Glass every once in awhile, or at least his.
8:31
Oh God, OK. OK, so what's the plan?
8:36
Grab. Him as as Devin pulls out his
8:40
heavy pistol. The plan is to go get our asset
8:44
back by any means necessary, put him back into the Cryodin and
8:50
then get our money. As far as I concerned, that
8:52
could be Chaka Khan. I'm going to go get our money
8:56
back and hopefully no one we no one will mind if it's missing a
9:02
foot or two. We're going to take his foot.
9:04
If we have to. Metal.
9:06
OK, you need help moving this to the the side of the building.
9:11
I should be able to handle it. I'll just get.
9:14
Can you give me the keys to the van?
9:18
Tossed. I'll take care of this if you
9:22
guys can go get him. If we chop off his foot, can you
9:25
put it back on? Yes, actually I can.
9:29
Oh, so we name him the Doctor. Vivi fixes him.
9:35
Only if it's necessary saw. OK, what is necessary?
9:39
Like he's getting away and I I, I, I use goal grind to like cut
9:44
his legs. I think.
9:46
Just maybe we should talk more about therapy.
9:50
Yes, yes, we should. Just just.
9:55
Use your heart saw. Use my.
9:57
Not actually don't. OK, you know what?
9:59
Just please, please just go get him.
10:01
OK, you want to lead the way. So this thing, this log says
10:08
that there's a tracker is like, does that mean like we can track
10:11
him? I mean, you could, you could try
10:13
and interface with the pod that you've got maybe.
10:17
Yes, I am going to try to do that and see if the cryo tank
10:22
like gives me anything. I guess I'll go for it.
10:27
That guy was fast too. Yeah, yeah.
10:30
It's almost like he rolled a crate a.
10:34
Moment. 14, yeah. Yes, so I would like to see if I
10:44
can find anything about a tracker on this based on what
10:47
this log has told me. Yes, you get a readout of the
10:50
tracker, but by only rolling the 14 you do not have access to the
10:54
kill switch. It indicates that the subject is
10:57
90 feet away to the north. OK, well I guess that doesn't
11:03
really help because you guys saw him go that way anyway, but he
11:05
went that way. Oh.
11:10
Yeah, he's like 90. He's like 90 feet away at this
11:12
point and getting farther. Far at all.
11:15
That's like, I can shoot that far.
11:18
That's true. All right, you too.
11:23
You want me to lead? Yeah, OK, Yeah.
11:27
Well, let's go. Are you this way?
11:30
Yes. Big, big purple arrow.
11:33
Yes. I I don't see a big purple
11:35
arrow, what are you talking about?
11:37
No, no. No, no, saw will kind of do do a
11:42
little spin. Of the North.
11:45
OK, let's go then. All right, so.
11:51
I would go with this door locked open.
11:53
Woke up to an open bathroom door.
11:56
There's no one inside. Inside you can see a toilet, a
11:59
hand dryer, a sink, and a mirror if you want to see anything
12:02
else. What perception?
12:05
Oh, here it goes. Nothing.
12:08
Yeah. No, no, sorry.
12:09
Did you want to go? Do you want me to step out?
12:13
It so you you see a mouse crawl out of the room and decide to
12:18
chase it. Oh, there's a mouse.
12:21
I got it. I got I I want it.
12:23
I want it here. I.
12:24
Go OK the mouse. It's gone underneath a soaked
12:28
wet sofa to the South of this. Place Get under the sofa.
12:32
OK, well I just got to look over helplessly at Devin.
12:36
I, I, I, I don't do this many drugs.
12:37
I don't know. Devin's going to look into the
12:41
the room just to do a quick once over, just to make sure and.
12:46
Roll perception. I almost got.
12:48
I almost got him. You're right there.
12:50
Perception 24, yes. I see the whole world.
12:55
You do. You walk into the bathroom and
12:58
there where the mirrors, you notice that it's not quite on
13:01
the wall, right? And as you touch it, you're
13:03
fairly certain that you see the a crack of light coming from
13:07
behind the mirror. And you're now 100% sure that
13:12
it's not just a mirror, it's a door.
13:16
Hey, hey. Saw Bridge.
13:20
Yeah. You ever see you ever read the
13:23
book called Alice in Wonderland? I've.
13:25
Never heard of it. It's a old school.
13:29
Oh I I I can't read. Smart man.
13:33
Basically, you find a magical treasure behind a mirror.
13:38
Speaking of Saul, can you go through this real quick?
13:42
He points at the mirror. This is this is a false door.
13:45
This is a false mirror. There's a door behind me.
13:48
Just just break the mirror. Well, don't, don't eat old
13:52
kool-aid, man it. But just, you know, try to move
13:54
it to the side and go behind it. Oh, oh, oh, OK, that sounds easy
13:59
enough. It's a mirror.
13:59
They break all the time, but you're going to get seven years.
14:02
Bad luck, my mom says. Yeah.
14:05
So don't don't add any more bad luck than we've had the past
14:09
several hours. OK, here goes nothing.
14:13
Broken mirror. You should be able to open the
14:15
door. Sprawling 20 Yes, the mirror
14:18
smashes. Door in front of you opens.
14:24
That's seven years. And Bridge are you behind sore
14:27
as he smashes this? I had to move out of the doorway
14:30
so I'm outside I think. Devon, on the other side of this
14:34
now smash mirror is a man in a patient gown on his knees,
14:39
cowering in this other bathroom, and he looks at you.
14:43
No, don't do her. I'm just smell my face.
14:50
I just smell my face. Right, right.
14:56
He's put his hands up in fear. So I'm sorry.
14:59
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. We're therapists.
15:04
We're here. We're here to help.
15:18
Journey into the world of Frostborn, The newest arc of
15:22
Dungeons at Randomness takes place 100 years after our last,
15:26
meaning it's a perfect time to jump into the show.
15:29
A small group of adventurers embark on an epic tale of
15:32
rebuilding and revenge in the magically frostbitten world of
15:35
Tharia. They'll struggle to stay alive
15:38
in harsh conditions as they call in every favor they have in
15:41
order to get payback against a corrupt king.
15:46
New audio and video episodes are posted every Monday, and you can

15:59
come. Yes, Hello, My name is Doctor
16:15
Slawman. This is my associate Saw Blade.
16:23
We are here because you are having a slight mental breakdown
16:30
and we need to get you back to the hospital where you will
16:34
receive proper treatment. Yes, I apparently you are seeing
16:41
things that are not true, which is called genital psychosis.
16:46
My nose is bigger. Yes, yes, that is that is part
16:50
of the derangement that you are currently experiencing.
16:55
If you would just ever so slightly, the devil will gently
16:58
reach out. Just come with the Yeah, it's
17:01
it's fine. It's fine.
17:02
We're not going to hurt you. We're not going to hurt you.
17:07
Do you like drugs? OK, well.
17:10
I could get you some drugs if you want.
17:12
I'm a family man. I just, I work in construction.
17:15
My name is Glenn. Glenn, your.
17:18
Wife and your kid. Sounds like a stand up guy.
17:21
Is it raining? Yeah.
17:24
I don't remember raining. OK, Last thing I remember was
17:27
getting Christmas gifts to my kid.
17:30
And it's March. OK.
17:32
It's what it's. Blade, why don't you, instead of
17:38
being here in this dark, creepy room, why don't we get you back
17:44
into safety? Just follow us real quick.
17:47
It's, it's perfectly safe, you know?
17:51
Leave a bed for you. I don't know if I believe you.
17:54
Like I just smashed the wall. I think he has a chainsaw for an
17:56
arm. You, you, you.
17:59
You didn't see anything? OK, whatever you say, you're
18:05
scary. Oh shit, I don't.
18:07
Know, oh God, that. That, that's a compliment to me.
18:11
I don't know, man. I don't know if I trust you so.
18:14
Glenn, but Glenn glass Glenn face looks a little weird right
18:19
it's. Not my face.
18:24
Uh huh. And does it does the rest of
18:28
your body seem OK? Is it literally just your face?
18:30
Were you always this this short? No, not that there's anything
18:34
wrong with that. No, I guess not.
18:38
OK, I have a headache. So your nose is bigger and you
18:41
have a headache. Great.
18:43
Solid. We have a doctor in the van.
18:45
She'll take a look at you in a cozy bed.
18:49
Cool. She's really good.
18:51
Fantastic cooling action on the pillow.
18:54
You know, have a nice lie down. Does the name of Doctor Glass
18:56
mean anything to you? No.
18:58
No, OK. Good.
19:03
And he's walking with you as you walk back towards the van.
19:05
VB, you have finished messing with the cryo tank.
19:09
Did you roll for that? I did not.
19:12
I rolled to check the location of the guy.
19:16
Yes, you did, if you. Want to get the cryo tank ready
19:18
for this guy? Or if you'd like to scan him,
19:20
let me know. Yes, I would like to get the
19:22
cryo tank ready and stable and. Good.
19:27
Roll for it. 20. Nice.
19:31
Yeah, The gas station that you're at, each of the pumps are
19:36
hybrid pumps, and it does actually have a power outlet.
19:38
You plug it straight into the power outlet for the pump and it
19:42
charges the cryo tank up to 100%.
19:46
Oh, all right. This should be good.
19:48
You look like a doctor. Oh.
19:50
Good. You guys got them?
19:53
Yes, Hello over. There 90 feet away.
19:55
This is Glenn. Hi.
19:59
Glenn, hi. Well, I'm going to take care of
20:06
you. Make sure you're all good.
20:07
OK, it's wet. OK, Wet.
20:11
Yes. Why don't you come step in the
20:12
van and I will take a look and and check your vitals and make
20:18
sure you're all good. He sits at the edge of the open
20:22
van on the back, looking defeated.
20:27
Yeah, you know what, I'm going to take a quick.
20:29
Just. Overall, look at this guy.
20:32
Do you scan him? Yeah, I'm going to scan him.
20:35
While Phoebe does a scan, can I like check him to see if there's
20:37
any sort of like medical wrist bracelet or any sort of anything
20:40
on his purse and other than the the gown he's wearing?
20:43
Yes, role perception. Phoebe, as you scan this person,
20:47
what you see on the screen, upsettingly, there's 2 forms of
20:50
DNA that are fighting each other.
21:01
What? As you look at him, as he moves,
21:04
the gown moves and there's a collar around his neck with that
21:07
big box, a little red stick underneath it, some wires, a
21:11
little flashing red light. Does that look like a tracker to
21:15
you? Devin?
21:19
Wait, hold on. It's OK.
21:20
It's fine. You know, could also just as
21:23
easily be a self destruct caller, so maybe don't fuck with
21:25
that too much, buddy. No.
21:27
Hey. Watch his heart rate elevate on
21:28
your scan. It just goes straight.
21:30
Up. We know the heart rate monitor's
21:31
working. Seriously.
21:35
All those words were unnecessary and probably wrong.
21:39
As he says to Glenn, probably wrong.
21:41
OK, so calm down, but it probably does make sure that we
21:46
know your location at all times because you are a patient that
21:51
needs to be taken care of. OK?
21:55
He looks over the bridge. What the fuck is wrong with you?
21:58
Hey, you're not going to listen to us if he's not only a little
22:01
scared of us. Why would you tell somebody to
22:05
have a bomb in her neck? That doesn't help anybody?
22:08
How would you feed? Him, I said.
22:09
Cracker. He freaked out.
22:10
I said Bomb. He freaked out.
22:12
I don't know what you want me to tell him.
22:14
Tell him he's got some random. Absolutely none of the things
22:17
that came out your mouth right there was the right thing to
22:19
say. Imagine if you woke, woke up
22:21
with a bomb on your throat. It's not a bomb.
22:24
It's not right Body. Body it's not.
22:26
A. Bomb.
22:28
It's not a bridge. Kind of like cracks her neck a
22:31
little bit. Fine.
22:32
You want to do this properly, we can do it properly.
22:34
And I step up to Glenn and I go. Glenn, you're your wife.
22:38
You worked in construction, right?
22:39
Wife and kid. Yeah, my wife and kid, they're.
22:42
Going to be waiting for you back at the hospital buddy you need
22:44
to make it back there and the tracker's there to make sure
22:46
that you make it back safely and in one piece unhealthy the bed
22:50
back there was keeping you stable bunch of things that you
22:54
broke out of it so we're here to make sure that you.
22:56
Get you can give me back my old face.
22:58
I can get you back your old face, your old life, your old
22:59
family, your old income, if you want it.
23:02
But construction is not that great nowadays, you know.
23:04
OK, well, persuasion. Oh shit.
23:10
Pensive silence, fucking 21 and he lies down in the Tesco vivi.
23:22
As you continue to scan this man, you notice that most of the
23:25
DNA is centered around his heart.
23:28
The 98%. It is strongest around his
23:31
heart, like it was injected there.
23:35
OK. Well, that was really good
23:40
bridge, good work. I give the people what they
23:45
want. So he just lays right in the in
23:48
the tank, is that? Yeah.
23:50
Is that what you want? Do I cross my arms?
23:51
Or something. Yes, OK.
23:54
Now just I'm going to just do a couple more things.
23:58
So go ahead and just lay down and countdown from from 15.
24:04
OK, 15/14/13. OK, and as he's doing that, I am
24:09
going to close the tank and power it all on and make sure
24:17
everything's all good. All right, roll for it to make
24:20
sure you don't mess it up. Oh boy.
24:23
I'm going to put 2 lock points in the.
24:27
So it's very. Good, I'll just add.
24:31
You can add 220. Two, just in case.
24:35
As you close the box with the cryo tank attached to it, you
24:39
watch his eyes in fear as the shadow moves across his face and
24:45
you hear a clunk. The readout on the top of this
24:49
box goes green and it says because you rolled very high.
24:55
Donor heart secure. Oh.
25:01
What does that say? It's says donor hearts cure
25:09
just. Person.
25:11
Donut. Donut heart saw.
25:15
This person in this tank is going to be losing their heart
25:21
to whoever we're delivering this to.
25:23
But don't. Don't you need that to live
25:25
right? You do.
25:26
Well, based on all the readings you just said out loud, most of
25:30
that's not their heart anymore. So it's kind of a moral Gray
25:34
area. This is so bizarre.
25:36
Has VV seen and like I've seen a lot of weird shit but is this?
25:42
Have I seen something like this before?
25:44
If you roll streetwise, you can find some stuff out anyone who
25:47
rolls streetwise if they want, yeah.
25:51
As. Well, I mean, if anything, this
25:52
guy's probably going to get a newfound love of construction
25:55
after he gets the new. One Diana, you step in a pobble
25:59
that's far too deep, and you soak your left leg.
26:02
You want fuck it, I'll take the heart.
26:03
I'll fix all these potholes. I'll never have this happen
26:05
again. Devin, you should have a
26:10
Streetwise of four. So that is actually maybe 15.
26:14
Streetwise starts at 4 by default.
26:15
So yeah, you are an executive and you've heard that there is a
26:22
therapy where they grow you organs, but you're not really
26:24
sure how it works. So you rolled 18 on Streetwise?
26:28
Yeah, I'm cool and. You remember seeing this guy in
26:34
the street looking way better than this and Vivi, you are 100%
26:39
sure that this man has had DNA therapy to change his DNA for
26:43
some reason. The other thing that you do
26:45
remember is that Doctor Glass has no cyberware and you've
26:49
heard a rumour that he's allergic I.
26:54
See. Wait, I knew this guy.
26:57
Looks familiar. I've seen him.
27:00
I've seen him before. He's really famous.
27:02
Wait, this guy is Doctor Glass? No, this guy is.
27:07
This guy has been altered to have similar features as Doctor
27:11
Glass, so that Doctor Glass could probably get the
27:14
transplant from this guy. But I've I've seen Glenn before,
27:17
is that what you meant? No, nobody knows what gun looks
27:21
like. This guy looks like Doctor
27:22
Glass. This is a face off type of
27:24
situation. Legally.
27:28
Distinct. Legally distinct, Yes.
27:30
So it seems this Doctor Glass is very rich and has the ability to
27:41
just get new body parts, certain organs when he needs them, and
27:46
this Glenn is his latest person. Which, that's pretty, that's
27:53
pretty awesome, I'm not going to lie.
27:55
He has organs. He gets organs delivered to him.
27:59
Yeah, here's the thing I always saw on this one.
28:01
If he was smart enough to be able to do that and also smart
28:04
enough to provide certain cures, certain medicines, you know,
28:07
he's a genius of our time. We should make sure that he's
28:09
alive, so we should give him his heart.
28:12
Wait, yeah, I mean this guy, I mean this, this Glen guy, he's
28:15
a, he's got a family. He had a family as of Christmas.
28:18
We have no idea where they're at now.
28:20
Frankly, if he disappeared and hasn't shown up since Christmas
28:23
and he has a daughter and abandoned them and his wife, I'd
28:25
probably divorce him. You know, he's probably got
28:27
nothing left. Also, once again, a moral Gray
28:29
area that's mostly no longer his heart.
28:33
That's Doctor Glass's heart, or Mr. Glass Court.
28:38
I don't know, nothing like legalities to know when
28:40
ownership kicks in, but 98% seems like a lot to me.
28:44
Technically possession, but that won't be an issue as soon as we
28:46
get into the location. Not 98.
28:48
That's 2 less than 100. Correct.
28:51
That's good counting saw you're getting better at that.
28:55
The books you gave me are really.
28:56
Helping. Speaking of accounting, we have
29:01
this guy back in the cryo. Yes.
29:04
And I am fully aware that none of this is my business.
29:09
My business is getting this thing to where we need to go.
29:14
Yes, this is true. And apparently this is 12 K
29:19
worth of of one part of Doctor Glass.
29:25
So. Fridge, why don't you say this
29:29
is 20 K worth of life? The heart is the most important
29:36
organ in your body. Not the brain.
29:40
The GM would like to point out that fixers have a haggle skill
29:43
I. Was just going to say I mean at
29:47
this point he's and I kind of like gesture vaguely to the cryo
29:51
chamber. I mean he's damaged goods.
29:53
He broke out once. He's all stressed his cortisone.
29:59
I'm not a doctor. So.
30:02
That's the one right? Might be down to like 6K but I
30:06
can try and handle up when we get there.
30:09
Not that I'm a doctor or anything.
30:11
This is a extremely valuable organ that we're asked.
30:16
This isn't like the stomach or the spleen.
30:20
This is the heart. It probably took three months to
30:23
grow. Chances are he's got.
30:24
More of them, right? This is one of the most
30:29
difficult organs to grow and longest period of time so.
30:34
All I'm saying is that if someone go through all this
30:38
trouble to get a hot and they already have 12,000, what's
30:44
another 8000? I, we'll see what I can do when
30:49
I get there. Granted, I haven't talked to
30:51
this doctor class, you know, I, I've never talked to this guy
30:54
properly face to face when we interface through friends of
30:59
friends, you know, he's people talking to my people, things
31:00
like that. And so we'll see, but we have to
31:03
get there first. But this is like, this is like
31:07
kidnapping. We didn't kidnap him.
31:10
We are transporting. We didn't even know he was in
31:12
there. What's what's it called?
31:14
When you like when like look like if, if one of my bandmates
31:19
kills someone and I, I'm holding the guy down.
31:24
Complacent. That makes us complicit.
31:27
Yeah. In in this kidnapping, right?
31:29
Not. Complacent, which is what we
31:32
should be. I don't know about you, but I
31:36
don't know what's in that box. Personally, I I went to a
31:41
location. Right.
31:43
Nope. I don't know what's in that box.
31:46
Saw and neither do. You saw saw roll perception?
31:51
Definitely roll Persuasion. Oh boy.
31:54
Human perception. Is there a?
31:56
Yes, human perception. Yes, which is a Cyberpunk Reds
31:59
version of Insight. Oh, thank God.
32:02
Saw you don't get it. No, no, no.
32:06
Glenn's in that box. No SO.
32:13
I, I, we just put them in there. So.
32:15
So listen to me. I'm going to say this clearly.
32:18
You need to respond when anyone asks you what's in the box.
32:23
The answer is I don't know. I saw.
32:27
Yeah. This is I hate to be.
32:30
This is Night City and we. I know.
32:34
I grew up here. I know.
32:35
And you've probably seen some pretty mess up.
32:37
I mean, you play in one of the hardest parts of the city, like
32:41
the combat zone. You've seen a lot of messed up
32:43
things, right? Yeah.
32:45
Yeah, of course. You said the other day, you
32:47
know, somebody attacked you on stage and you had to pull out
32:49
your arm and defend, you know, defend yourself.
32:52
This is just a product of the city we exist in.
32:58
And that is, this had reality. But Glenn's in there, right?
33:06
Yes, no, no, no, he is not in there.
33:10
This, this is the thing you told me about a couple weeks ago.
33:15
It's like flame lighting. Gas lighting.
33:18
That that's it. Is that that's what you guys are
33:21
doing to me so. You're.
33:24
Making me feel bad gas. Lighting isn't that real.
33:28
It's not. Oh my God.
33:37
You say this with confidence as you try and remove the gas pump
33:39
from the side of the van and it won't come out because you
33:42
haven't paid. You have to pay inside.
33:44
Well, technically this is a gas lighting because we're not
33:48
purposely trying to deceive you. We're trying to get you to
33:51
understand that we're all going to say we don't know what's in
33:56
this box because that is the safest option.
34:00
I mean, look, I'm not against decapitating a motherfucker, a
34:06
cut and a dive from crotch to throat.
34:09
I'm not, I'm not above that. I'm going to be honest with you,
34:12
but I, I don't you all have like a little bit of a moral like
34:17
women and children. Which luckily neither one of
34:21
those are in the box because. We I guess you're right one more
34:25
time point. You got a point.
34:27
Don't know what's in the box, all Yeah, now you get it.
34:30
No. I know what's in the box, but
34:32
he's not a woman or child. I got it.
34:33
I got it. I understand.
34:36
You can see the clerk inside the gas station is this guy who's
34:42
been watching you this whole time and bridge.
34:46
You go and head on inside while the others watch on.
34:51
All right, So you see the teller inside kind of looking at you,
34:55
but you can see he's expecting money from you all.
34:58
Right, I'll be right back. You guys handled Schrodinger's
35:02
casket or whatever and I wander in and talk to.
35:06
Inspiration That's fucking you get inspiration for Shogun's
35:10
casket. That's that's gorgeous.
35:12
You keep that that's yours. All right, you head on inside
35:15
bridge and there is the the gas station attendant.
35:18
He's wearing gold sunglasses. Hey.
35:22
Oh man, nice. Shades dude, Punk 2 if if you
35:25
don't mind. Kind of in a rush.
35:28
Sure was that a screaming man came out of your van?
35:33
Screaming man. What, Jim?
35:38
Jim's just having a rough day. He's yeah.
35:41
See. See.
35:44
He's the thing. Oh dear boy.
35:48
Gas stations. Think about gas stations right
35:51
just. 1. This.
35:52
Glass right in front of me. Explosion of books.
35:55
How come I? Automatically See a little pod
35:57
right here? I don't think I have so.
36:00
You're right here. Cameras.
36:03
Yeah. I got this self footage.
36:11
You're weird. I thought it's got to help.
36:16
I have a feeling someone would pay me for this.
36:20
Oh yeah, I ain't. Going to pay for gas.
36:23
Oh, I'm crazy. Oh, it looks like my computer.
36:26
You can even put regular in. It looks like a payment.
36:29
That sucks. So like you know, I'm sorry, but
36:33
computer says 85 at AC your tank.
36:35
It's I don't know. I don't know how I'm going to
36:38
forget, but I saw all of this. I don't know how I'm going to
36:42
forget, do I? Do I remember to send these
36:46
files to my friend at Network 54?
36:50
I don't know, man. You know, I guess I'm guessing
36:53
on the goodness Dick kind of guy.
36:54
Someone else made me know. I don't know, paid you 84 Eddies
37:01
preview. The Zips.
37:04
My finger over the newly key. That's a finger.
37:09
Price that that finger right there.
37:11
Yeah, this one right here. Leave behind his glassy
37:13
Fantastic. Yeah.
37:15
No, if I push that, the video goes away.
37:19
I don't know if I can do it. To do it.
37:23
Oh, OK. Yeah, no, I see where you're
37:25
coming from. Sorry.
37:26
What was your name? Can I read his name tag?
37:28
Yeah, role. Human perception.
37:33
Human perception really. Just keep this one up all the
37:38
time 12. 12, Yeah, You recognize a few things.
37:41
One, he's probably an addict because he's scratching a lot
37:44
because you rolled 12. And also that his name is Dave.
37:50
Dave, buddy, sorry, it was channel 53 right that you said
37:54
that you were, you had friends at the Big 150. 54.
37:59
Can I tell if he actually has friends at 54 or if he's just
38:01
messing? With that human perception, but
38:04
you know he's bullshitting, but you also know in Night City it's
38:07
not hard to sell a rumour but he won't get he doesn't know
38:09
someone at 54, you're fairly certain he's lying about that.
38:13
And he's fully surrounded by this like bulletproof glass.
38:17
Yeah, next little bit. The door does have a lock.
38:20
There is a little door on the right.
38:21
There is a lock to this door, but also like not to be funny.
38:25
If the if like the building was on fire, he'd be fucked.
38:29
You're a player. Work it out.
38:34
I'm just going to throw my hands up Listen, Dave, buddy, yeah, I
38:38
get you. I see where you're coming from
38:39
Gas, you know, can I pay you the 80 now for the premium and then
38:44
I need to go talk to a friend out there to get the rest That
38:47
cool you got me on cameras. I'm.
38:48
Not going to send anything until you guys leave if I can't send
38:52
anything because that gets deleted after before you leave
38:55
and I guess nobody gets it. Great.
38:58
I'm OK with this. Are you OK with this?
39:00
This seems like a good deal, honestly.
39:01
However, I'm going to take one of these.
39:05
Come on. OK, you know what?
39:07
I'll make it 82. It's not an, you know, 80% tip,
39:10
but it's all I got right now on me.
39:12
That's. Fine, all righty, hold on.
39:15
And I tap on the little. Thing and it transfers.
39:18
I'll be right back. Don't do anything drastic.
39:20
You want anything while I'm out? No, I got sex.
39:25
Solid. OK, I'll be right back.
39:27
Be behind those cameras for me. Oh, you know I will.
39:32
Hey. I raise my hands up and I back
39:33
out the door and as soon as I it closes behind me, I'm going to
39:38
turn. And.
39:39
Walk towards the van nonchalantly.
39:43
All right, do any of you guys have a grenade?
39:53
Next time on no latency side quest.
39:58
I have a scrambler on me. I have a stun gun and a
40:01
tranquilizer. So you want to blow him up?
40:04
I want to get rid of the problem.
40:05
How much does he want? I think I have an.
40:06
Idea. Frankly, I want my eddies back.
40:09
You know, I'll take all of that. Yeah, it's stopping you.
40:12
Let's get out of the current situation we're in.
40:15
Make it building 17. I always liked the number one.
40:17
Believe it or not. Got to take it up to the
40:19
penthouse I believe. He's the smartest person in this
40:22
crew. When you're presented with these
40:24
tough choices. It's Glenn.
40:26
He's right, yeah. Sometimes you don't have time to
40:28
sit and think on it. You just have to do.
40:30
What are they talking about? You don't have to worry about
40:33
that. But your intuition and gut feels
40:35
like. I'm not following you.
40:36
Have to feel good about yourself, you know?
40:38
Yes, a life for a life. It is, Sir.
40:41
I don't know who the fuck you are.
40:43
That's usually how it goes. I've always wanted to see
40:46
something like. This I mean, the moniker is
40:48
Calico the real name. Is is the best choice for the
40:51
moment? Oh my God.
40:53
It's going to take days to clean all that.
40:54
